Arn1ed robbers strike By Ferdie de la Torre Variety News Staff

A COUPLE were reportedly robbed atknifepoint by three uni­dentified men along the beach near San Antonio Elementary School S!Jnday night.

The victims, described as a 26-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman, lost a wallet containing an undetermined amount of money and a necklace.

Public Safety Information Of­ficer Cathy Sheu said initial po-

.lice investigations showed that the victims were both inside a vehicle parked at the beach when three men approached them at 10:30 p.m.

The trio asked the victims for cigarets.

When they failed to get one, the robbers left, but then returned.

One of the suspects, armed with a knife, held the man who was on the driver's seat.

The two other suspects went to the passenger's side.

in two separate incidents in Susupe and Garapan.

No arrests have been made in all of these robbery cases.

after divesting the victims' neck­lace and wallet.

Agents from the Department of Public Safety Criminal Investi­gation Section are following up the case.

In another police report, a man was arrested after he allegedly approached an immigration of­ficer while holding a machete at a residence in Kagman Monday morning.

Michael Marcelino, 33, was arrested for assault with a danger­ous weapon. THE DEPARTMENT of Pub­

lic Safety has raised to 45-miles per hour the vehicle speed limit along certain areas in the Middle Road.

Police officers have posted the speed limit signs along 2w highway Puerto Rico by Kaizer Cement South to 2w highway Lower Navy Hill. ., . .

This was where Gov. Froilan C. Tenorio was stopped by police officers overspeeding a few months ago.

But police officers dismissed suggestions that the DPS's deci­sion to raise the speed limit in the area had something to do with that incident.

The speed limit signs, DPS said, "were ordered since the summer of l995

Last Friday, two robbery cases were reported to the DPS when snatchers struck in separate inci­dents in Chalan Kanoa and Koblerville.

The victims, also a woman and a man, lost money and other items to the robbers.

Last October, snatchers grabbed bags from two Japanese tourists

Police said the immigration of­ficer went to Marcelino regarding a deportation proceeding.

Marcelino, armed with a ma­chete, walked toward the officer, prompting the latter to leave.

In Garapan, Sergio Rangamar, 18, of Dandan, was arrested after he allegedly punched several times a 21-year-old woman in­side a house Monday morning.

Tenorio unhappy on trip of 'lameduck' legislators

By Rafael H. Arroyo Variety News Staff

GOVERNOR Froilan C. Tenorio yesterday expressed displeasure over the administration's decision to shoulder the trip made by two 'lameduck' congressmen to a leadership conference in Puerto Rico.

In an interview yesterday, Tenorio said he was not aware that the trip made by outgoing Democratic Reps. Vicente T. Attao and Herman T. Palacios was on him.

"I am not happy with what hap­pened. As you may know, the T As for the two lawmakers were signed by Lt. Gov. Borja while I was off-island. Apparently, the lieutenant governor was led to

Palacios and Attao went to the San Juan conference incurring a total of·$6,559.50 in transporta­tion expenses.

Borja lashes at RP's Duque By Rick Alberto Variety News Staff

GUAM-Lt. Gov. Jesus Borja on Monday slammed a Philip~ pine labor official for his al­leged comments which in ef­fect blames the CNMI for the fact that up to now the Philip­pines has not lifted the ban on certain categories of Filipino workers in the Common­wealth.

Borja said he could not un­d,.rstand. what Gonzsalo T. Duque. deputy admjnistrator of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration, meant when he said that "now the ball is in our (CNMI' s) court."

"Imagine poverty-stricken families employing maids? It's pathetic. Filipino domes­tic helpers, most of whom are college graduates should not be allowed to work under such conditions," Duque was quoted as saying.

Borja said, "I was not too happy with the article because Mr. Duque says that now the ball is in our court."

Reports said Duque had rec­ommended the partial lifting of the ban on farmers and ho­tel and entertainment work­ers, but up to now this has yet to be done.

Borja once more expressed his disappointment about the nonlifting of the ban.

He also said that the CNMI had done its work, and that on the contrary the "ball is in the Philippines' court."

"The laws are in place, the regulations are in place. In terms of the protection for the workers we have not only Commonwealth-wide laws, we have several laws. The (Philippine) delegation that came here saw that," he said. "I don't know what he means

Kaefani Kinney

By Ferdie de la Torre Variety News Staff

KAELANI Kinney wants an open disclosure of the identities of the late Larry Lee Hillblom's alleged daughter and the child's mother.

Kinney, mother of Hillblom's alleged son Junior Larry Hill broom, filed a motion before the Superior Court on Monday opposing a move by petitioner David Moncrieff to proceed their cfaim without dis­closing the true names of Jane Doe

THREESOME. Lt. Gov. Jesus Borja (middle) and Marianas Vis_itors Bure.au_man~ging_ director Anicia Tomokane pose with Japan Association of Travel Agents board chalfman Ryo1ch1 Gunp during the luncheon hosted by the MVB at the 10th Japan Congress of International Travel last week.

Hillblom and her mother. Kinney, through counsel Joe Hill,

joined Hillblom's estate executor Bank of Saipan in opposing Moncrieffs motion.

Hill said Kinney submitted her son and their claim openly.

"The claim filed by Moncrieff for Jane Doe Hillblom is no differ­ent from Kinney's and should not be treated differently," Hill said.

John D. Osborn, counsel for the executor, earlier filed a memoran­dum of points and authorities in opposition to Moncrieff s motion.

Osborn said Moncrieff s sole jus­tification for proceeding anony­mously is that to reveal the infant's true name would place her and her family in grave danger of physical harm or other coercion.

"This statement is wholly unsup­ported by any declaration oraffida­vitfromeitherpetitionerMoncrieff, the alleged mother of Jane Doe Hillblom or any other person pur­porting to have know ledge," Osborn argued.

He pointed out that the motion contains no legal authority for the request and is not accompanied by apy memorandum of points and

authorities. "Petitioner not only fails to pro­

vide any factual basis for the re­quest, he also fals to follow the rules of practice or offer any au­thority for the request," said Osborn.

Such move would preclude the executor from investigating the facts relating to the allegation of paternity, he added.

Meanwhile, Superior Court Pre­siding Judge Alexandro Castro is­sued yesterday an order granting the executor's petition for approval and payment of certain claims against Hillblom' s estate.

Castro authorized the executor to pay to the Commonwealth Health Center in the amount of $2,501.20 .

The judge also authorized the executor to pay to lawyer James Sirok$I5,000 in full satisfaction of his claim.

Sirok demanded $15,000 from the estate based on the damage caused by Hill blom to a 1960 Cessna 182 airplane.

Sirok and Hillblomjointly owned the airplane that crashed in 1993.

Earlier the court also granted the payment on certain claims, includ­ing to the Department of Finance.

Knife assault suspect told to seek counseling

By Ferdie de la Torre Variety News Staff

THE SUPERIOR Court or­dered yesterday a man who threatened to strike a Bangladeshi man with a knife and assaulted another person to seek alcohol abuse coun­seling.

Associate Judge Timothy Bellas also asked Franco F. Ykuda to perform 300 hours of community work service in two years. · Kyuda was charged with as­

sault with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery, disturbing the peace, and mi­nor in consumption of alco­hol.

Ykuda, through counsel David Juarez, entered an

agreement with the govern­ment by pleading guilty pur­suant to North Carolina vs. Alford (to admit although de­nying the allegations) to as­sault with a dangerous weapon, and assault and bat­tery.

Following the agreement, Bellas sentenced Ykuda to three years in jail, all sus­pended.

Ykuda was asked to pay $300 fine in two years while placed under probation. .

Court information showed that Ykuda, while under the influence of alcohol, threat­ened to strike Abu Hassan Abdullah with a knife.

He also assaulted Ko Young Ja with his hand.

(Mar. Var. 12/01) You can never comprehend our

grief, frustrations or expectations re­garding the murder of our daughter, Elpidia "Ali" Koch, unless you have had your own child brutally, sav­agely, viciously, maliciously ,and vin­dictively beaten up to a pulp and, still alive, nonchalantly and fiendishly thrownintotheoceantodie. Youdid not see her face or body at the morgue and do not hear her silent screams constantly. The look of terror on her face is permanently etched in our memories, not yours.

We, not you, are the fortunate re­cipients of the following: "Do you really want your daughter's things back?" and Your daughter's murder

is not the only case we have." Unreturned phone calls and pleas for a copy of the autopsy report ignored are all ours. You werenotprivytoour conversation with Deputy Conunis­sioner Tenorio.

Labor justice system slow, says reader Dear F.ditor: There had been articles in the local

newspaper about the improvement of the resolution of labor cases in the CNMI. Please consider my case and I believe there are many others that end up or experience what I have undergone. I filed a labor case against myemployerfornon-paymentofsal­ary. I appreciate the speedy schedul­ing of settlement meeting butitfailed. The labor investigator then scheduled

another time for further questioning and he said after that he will write a report and we will go to a fonnal hearing. After about. 5 months of following it up with the investigator answering he is always busy and had ask the employer to come for further investigation but did not show up, I gave up and conclude that the system isslowornotworkingproperly. Now it is 9 months with no progress.

Justice delayed is justice denied,

thanks to friends that helped us. If the Labor depamnent cannot handle all the labor cases, maybe the suggestion of Speaker Benavente to let the judi­ciary help is a good idea. I think the good way for the Philippine govern­ment to asses the CNMI effort in resolving labor complaints is by ask­ing the status of each case on file.

Thank you. Case #95-<XX>83

Displaced worker seeks action Dear F.ditor, Since you published my Jetter in

your prestigious newspaper (Con­tract Workers sad fate," Nov. 19), no action has been done up to this time.

I have been jobless for the past two months and I am depending on the help of friends. But thei,r goodwill can only last for so long.

I learned that recently there was a mass hearing of Rota cases, but I wonder why my case against my former employer, David Quitugua, was left out and has remained un-

settled. I was never informed about the

hearing by the labor investigator, Vic­tor Lifoif oi, handling mycase. Could he be harboring a grudge against me?

The Office of the Attorney General and the Department of Labor and Immigration have promised every visiting Philippine official looking into the labor conditions of Filipino workers that they would help every Filipino with a labor problem, but why is that when I approached these offices for help I did not get any?

I am appealing once more to the proper authorities as I want to have this case resolved once and for all. This matter is causing me much anxi­ety. I have suffered a lot for the past manymonthsandsohasrnyfamilyin the Philippines. ..·

GOVERNOR Froilan C. Tenorio will be rotating the position of acting Attorney General among three senior officials of the Attor­ney General's Office in the ab­sence of a pennanent appointee to the cabinet post.

In an interview yesterday, Tenorio said he wants Assistant Attorney General C. Sebastian Aloot as his permanent AG, but that the latter lacked the required three year residency.

So in order that Aloot may be able to serve as AG, Tenorio said he will just go on reappointing Aloot every 30 days, rotating the post among two other AAGs, Herbert.Soll and Loren Sutton.

Agent sues for $1.5-M commissions By Rick Alberto Variety News Staff

A REAL ESTAlE agent has sued two property owners who he claimed had failed to pay him his commis­sions.

Ina complaint filed before the Dis­trict Court last week, Sammy Lee, an AmericannationalresidinginSaipan, claimed Frederic A. Leon Guellffl> and ftJnda F. Leon Guerrero, who are also both Americans, of Guam,

owe him a total of almost$1.5 million in "finder's fees" when he sought out les.5ee5 for the defendants' four lots.

Lee said that he had signed an agreement with the Leon Guerreros stipulating that he would receive a commission equivalent to 10 percent of the land value if he would find a lessee for the Leon Guerreros' prop­erties in Saipan.

He said that on different occasions from 19')2 to this year he introduced

Burkhart named special assistant for tourism

By Rick Alberto Variety News Staff

GOV. Froilan C. Tenorio has created the new position of special assistant for tourism and trade, and appointed Kurt Burkh.artjor the position effective last Dec. I.

Burlchart, prior to his appointment, was public infonnation officer at the Office of the Governor.

Burkhart, on his first day in his new position, was in Osaka as part of the CNMI delegation to the 10th Japan Congress of International Travel and Travel Show.

Burl<llart said he has recommended his replacement, but refused to divulge his name.

It was the first time the governor created such a position, which, accord­ing to Burlchartwould givehim the role of the governor's "eyes and ears."

"It is clear that in the next two years of this administration we're going to be putting a lotofernphasis on developing bothoftheseareas (tourisrnandtrade)," he said.

He cited thefactthat"the governor is traveling extensively throughout Asia, talking with prospective investors and developing interests in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan."

He said that some Taiwanese inves­tors had expressed interest to do busi­ness in the CNMI.

''We need additional followup; we need to talk about enticements; we need to talk about things that will inter­estandexciteoffshoreinterests to come to the Commonwealth and to help di­versify the economy," Burkhart said.

Tourism remains the number one trade of the CNMI, with garment as second.

Lt Gov. JesusBorjasawthecreation of the new position as ''added emphasis ( on the tourism ind us tty)."

''We have to not only realize that (tourism is) important, but it's the only onerightnowthatwehave; so it should be given the proper treatment that it deserves, and I think the governor feel that's another way of showing that," Borja said.

Burkhart said that he would not be sitting in the board of the Marianas Visitors Bureau, but that he would be attending its meetings.

"I'm strictly out of the Office of the Governor. There is the old saying two heads are better than one, three are better than two, and four are better than three, and so on, where we can again maybe share things from a different perspective," he said.

"Maybe discussions that I had with the governor and some of the interests that he has, specifically on tourism and trade, I may be able to share with the board meetings. They may have ques­tions and I may be able to go back to the governor and talk to the govemorabout those concerns they may have," he added.

He said thatinthecongress,or JATA [Japan Association of Travel Agents] '95, he "met some of those kinds of interest..."

Burkhartsaidthatinhisnewposition he would "find out a new level of excitement"

"It's been a pleasure working with all the people in the media, and I hope to continue working with the media over the next two years to bring some excitement to the areas of tourism and trade that I think are already exciting," he said.

four prospective purchasers who "successfully negotiated and ex­ecuted four separate lease agree­ments."

The Leon Guerreros "failed and refused to pay" Lee his commission, as agreed, according to the complaint filed by Lee's COW1Sel, Charles R Rotbart. '

Lee claimed the lessees he intro-

duced to the Leon Guerreros were Mr. Choi Kun Sile; Wang Chuan; tandem Brenda Choon Cha and Wlllllie Heeja Choi; and tandem Mr. Chang Kil Ahn and Winnie Heeja Choi.

Lee said that through his counsel, V.K Sawhney, he requested pay­ment ofhis commission due from the Chuan lease in a letter last June 29 but

that the Leon Guerreros' counsel, David J. Lujan, denied the request.

Lujan accordingly instructed Lee to "consider himself lucky and keep quiet'' or face "counterclaim and a jwy trial."

Last August Lee sent a second demand letter for claims for the four leases, but this was ignored, accord­ing to the complaint

He estimated total remittance by the workers for this year would reach $4.3 billion. About four million Filipinos work overseas, remitting an estimated total more than $6 billion annually. (Inquirer)

PRESIDENT Ramos certified as priority administration measure Sen. Franklin Drilon' s bill delineating the investigative functions of the National Bureau of Investiga­tion (NBI) and the Philippine National Police (PNP).

PRESIDENT Fidel V. Ramos has received a status report on the preparations for the APEC Leaders Meeting in 1996.

The Philippines will host the

Fidel V. Ramos

summit next November at the Subic Free Port Zone.

Retired General Lisandro Abadia, APEC National Or­ganizing Commission direc­tor-general, said the SBMA will have a total of 122 suites and 2,071 bedrooms ready for the delegates, as well as 21 villas for the 19 heads of gov­ernment and revenues for bi­lateral talks.

The villas are to be con­structed on a build-operate transfer (BOT) basis.

Abadia also reported that at lest 3,000 (Subic Telecom) lines will be ready for the meeting. The airport tarmac in Subic can accommodate 20 wide-bodied airplanes at one time, he said. (Standard)

Drilon said he welcomed the President's gesture as he cited the importance of the Senate Bill 1061, which, if enacted, would obviate the overlapping and duplication of functions among the various investiga­tion and police agencies which have apparently impeded or obstructed the expeditious resolution of criminal investi­gations.

The Drilon Bill allows the NBI to call upon the PNP and other government inves­tigation agencies to assist in the early resolution of the cases. (Phil. Journal)

SNATCHERS struck twice on Friday, grabbing bags from two persons in separate incidents in Chalan Kanoa and Koblerville.

Acting Public Safety Infor­mation Officer Sgt. Frank Babauta said the first incident occurred in front of Townhouse Shopping Center in Chalan Kanoa.

Babauta said initial investiga­tions showed that while a 30-year­old woman was talking with her co-worker, a male person ap­proached and suddenly grabbed her shoulder bag containing $50 cash and other items.

The snatcher fled on foot. In Koblerville, while a 32-year­

old man was walking toward his car, four to five male juveniles approached.

One of the boys then grabbed the victim's hat and a pouch con­taining $135 cash and other items.

The snatchers also fled on foot. Meanwhile, a 15-year-old stu­

dent who was stabbed inside a classroom at Hopwood Junior High School last Friday was re­portedly released after being

Hawke to US: Develop Asia policy KENNETH L WHmNG

SINGAPORE (AP) - The United States never had a cohesive policy toward Asia and it is now vital that Washington shed the condescension. of the past, fonner Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke said Tuesday.

''It is critically important that the UnitedStatesnowshapepolicies that cast aside the condescension of the pastandarebasedontherealityofthe present and the certainties of the fu­ture," he told a meeting of Asian publishers.

Hawke said that in much of Asia, particularly in Japan, there is appre­hension about China's intentions.

''I believe that both in tenns of history and in meeting the demands of its own internal development this fear is misplaced. The fact is that for most of its neighbors, their own economic welfare is becomingjncreasingly enmeshed with China's rapid economic growth," he added.

The United States would have no sympathy in Asia were it to force a showdown with China by economic sanctions, Hawke said.

In a keynote speech to the Asian Newspaper Publishers Expo, he also discussed the "Asian Val­ues" that some credit with giving the region a distinct ideological flair and contributing to an economic

Chief justice optimistic on HK transition HONG KONG (AP) - Hong Kong's Chief Justice sought Mon­day to dispel worries that the Brit­ish colony's legal system may suffer in the transition to Chinese rule in 1997, saying "pessimism is our greatest enemy."

"We must not talk ourselves into despondence. Hong Kong is and will remain after 1997 a go­ing and thriving concern built firmly on the bedrock of an inde­pendent and impartial judiciary,'· Sir Ti Liang Yang said in a speech to business people.

Yang said the Basic Law, the constitution drawn up by China to govern post-1997 Hong Kong, contained provisions to safeguard the colony's legal system after the July l, 1997, change of sover­eignty.

"A barrister can still come here from London after July 1 and go into court the following day and still feel at home. There will be no cultural shock for him, we will continue to be part of the common law world,'' he said. "Pes­simism is our greatest enemy and we must overcome it. We must tum the historical challenge of 1997 into an opportunity."

Yang became the center of con­troversy in recent weeks after a Chinese official quoted him as saying at a private social function that Hong Kong's Bill of Rights, a cornerstone of its human rights safeguards, had undermined the colony's legal system .

The official, Zhang Junsheng, leaked what he said where Liang' s remarks after a Beijing-appointed advisory body recommended wa­tering down the Bill of Rights after 1997.

boom. ''I have the feeling that Asian val­

ues or the Confucian ethic - what has been described the stress on learning and intergenerational responsibility as a well as a social collectivism and the more ready acceptance of author­ity -has provided the environment in which the' tough decisions can be made, and can be made to stick."

Hawke said that whatever credit is given to Asian values, not enough attention has been paid to the region's acceptance of the principal of shared growth, the sprr iding of economic and cultural progress.

If this continues, he said, "it will tend to blunt the criticism of those in the West who are so often gratu· itously partial in their assessment of what constitutes human rights."

Singapore sees itself as a de­fender of Asian values in contrast to Western liberalism, which Singapore leaders blame for a va­riety of social ills.

Taiwan president's popul~ty drops TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) - President Lee Teng-hui's approval rating dropped to 70pm:entfollowingweek­end elections in which his ruling Na­tionalist Party's parliamentary major­ity was trimmed, according to a news­paper JX>ll Monday.

Ex-Mexican president on offensive, says he'll testify

By ANITA SNOW MEXICO CITY (AP) - Former President Carlos Salinas de Gortari, angered by what he calls a campaign to make him Mexico's "favorite vil­lain," has promised to testify about his administration and his brother's legal problems.

With a signed, nine-page letter, the reclusive Salinas went on the offen­sive Sunday for the first time since leaving fiscally battered Mexico in March. Written after a week of bruis­ing allegations against his brother, the Jetter signaled Salinas' willingness to fight for his reputation and his place in history.

After leaving Mexico, "I had de­cided to say absolutely nothing about what was written about me," Salinas wrote in the Jetter, faxed by his private office to news organizations late Sun­day.

"But in the face of leaks and the rumors," he said, "I emphatically de­clare: I am willing, as I have always been,totestifyandmakemyselfavail­able for any clarification, including of a legal character.''

It was not immediately clear when Salinas, now believed to be living in Canada, would return to Mexico to testify.

The man many once considered Mexico's greatest president left his homeland nine months ago, shaken by his brother Raul's arrest on murder charges and growing criticism of his own role in the country's economic crisis.

Salinas has been widely blamed for the devaluation of the peso, which plunged the country into recession three weeks after he left office one year ago.

The criticism of his administration grew in February, when Raul Salinas was arrested and accused of master­minding the rnwtler of their sister's ex-husband - Jose Francisco Ruiz Massieu, the No. 2 man in the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI. Raul Salinas denies the charge; Carlos Salinas has not been impli­cated in the mwtler.

Salinas left the country after stag­ingabizarrehungerstrikeinthenorth­em industrial city of Monterrey to protest his brother's arresL

The criticism faded for a time, then returned last week with the disclosure that Raul Salinas, a fonner govern­ment employee, had Swiss bank ac­counts totaling $ 84 million.

Many of the fonner president's political allies in the PRI have joined the attack, with the party's national leaders discussing whether to expel the Salinas brothers from the party. Lastweek,opposition politicians filed formal complaints with the Mexican congress, demanding the lower house try him for his role in Mexico's eco­nomic crisis.

Salinas said in a brief statement a week ago that he was swprised to learn of his brother's bank accounts and was not aware of them when he wa~ president

Swiss authorities investigating the origin of Raul Salinas' wealth have said they believe it may be related to drug trafficking.

Valentin Roschacher, head of the Swiss Justice Ministry's anti-drug office, was scheduled to arrive this week in Mexico to broaden his inves­tigation.

The United Daily News said 70 per­cent of 872 people polled Sunday, the day after the legislative election, ex­pressed satisfaction with Lee's perfor­mance, compared with 18 percent who were unsatisfied.. The rest did not an­swer, the newspaper said.

The JX>ll had a margin of errorof 3.3 percentage JX)ints.

Previous JX>lls have usually given Lee a 75 to 80 percent approval rating. The approval rating of70 percent was a low for him.

Approval of Premier Lien Chan, who is Lee's running mate for presi­dential elections next March, also dropped from 73 percent last year to 51 percent after Saturday's election, ac­cording to the poll.

Lee's ruling Nationalists shed 11 seats in the election, holding a narrow

majorityof85 seats in the 164-member Legislature. The pro-independence Democratic Piogresfilve Party, which had 50 seats in the outgoing Legisla­rure, gained four seats, while the New Party, in its debut at the national level, won 21 seats.

Butanotherpollof959 people con­ducted by the Oiliia Times newspaper on Sunday showed Lee and Lien still leading six other teams in the race for March's presidential election.

Gore arrives on S. African visit By ALEXANDRA ZAVIS

JOHANNFSBURG, South Africa · (AP) • U.S. Vice President Al Gore

arrived Monday in South Africa for the first full meeting of a Cabinet-level committee designed to strengthen rela­tions with President Nelson Mandela' s govenunent

The U.S.-South Africa Binational Commission, established in Marchand co-cliaired by Gore and South African Deputy President Thabo Mbeki, cre­ated a fonnal working partnership be­tween South Africa and the United States.

Only Ru~ia and Egypt have similar binational commissions with the United States.

Gore said after arriving at Johannesburg International Airport that the United States wanted its partner­ship with South Africa to be a "a two­way street"

Using a South African expression for community, Gore said: "Ubuntu is what we seek with South Africa, and I am certain we will find it during our meetings these next few days.''

Gore and Mbeki will co-chair a ses­sion of the commission Tuesday, when

Gore also will meet with Mandela and second Deputy PresidentF. W.de Kleik In addition, Gore and Mbeki will sign several agreements that set up specific programs between their countries in education, energy, science and tech­nology, and business.

"While Americans have much to offer South Africa, clearly South Af­rica also has much to offer us,'' said Gore, who was met at the airport by deputy Foreign Affairs minister Aziz Pahad.

Gore also planned a:;ide trip to neigh­boring Botswana before ending the

visit Wednesday evening. Accompanied by his wife, Tipper,

Gore heads a delegation that includes Corrunerce Secretary Ron Brown, En­ergy Secretary Hazel O'Leary and Environment Secretary Bruce Babbitt, who are part of the binational commis­sion.

Peace Corps Director Mark Gearan also accompanied Gore. The United States and South Africa are preparing an agreement that would bring the first U.S. Peace Corps volunteers to South Africa.

Security was tight at the airport, with

a JX>lice helicopter searching the run­ways and sunuunding buildings and roads prior to the arrival of Gore's plane.

Gore was last in South Africa in 1994 to attend Mandela' s inauguration following historic elections that ended apartheid.

"Our two nations share far more than acommonhistory, weshareatlonglast common aspirations for our futures," Gore said. 'We are sister nations united by the vision of non-racial democracy and human rights, of healing and hope, renewal and redemption."

Pentagon: Reservists needed for Bosnia By ROBERT BURNS

W ASIIlNGTON (AP)-The Pen­tagon has ordered 3,800 reserv­ists to prepare for duty in the Bosnian peacekeeping operation and also identified which U.S.­based Anny and Air Force active forces will be sent to the Balkans.

Defense Secretary William Perry said he has directed 3,000 U.S. troops in Gennany to move into Hungary as soon as possible. They will set up staging bases and road networks for the movement later this month of the main body

of U.S. peacekeeping troops and their supplies into patrol areas of northeastern Bosnia.

At a Pentagon news conference, Perry made a renewed call for public support for sending Ameri­can troops to Bosnia as part of a NATO-led effort to enforce the peace agreement reached Nov. 21 in Dayton, Ohio. Without U.S. ground troops in Bosnia. he said, the war would reignite. Perry said this was a crucial opportunity to make the peace take hold. "We're not going in to fight a

war," he said. "In fact, for two and a half years, we have said that we would not send ground troops to Bosnia until a peace agreement is reached. That peace agreement is now in hand, and that is why we're preparing the forces."

Perry flew Monday to Brus­sels, Belgium, where he and Sec­retary of State Warren Christo­pher were scheduled to meet Tues­day with NATO defense and for­eign ministers.

They were expected to give a final blessing to the peace imple-

mentation force, which will total 60,000 troops from more than 20 countries, including 20,000 from the United States. Another 5,000 American troops wiU be in neigh­boring Croatia, and 7,000 others will be in Italy and Hungary.

The unusual joint meeting of both foreign and defense minis­ters from the 16 NATO countries also will address the potential expansion of the alliance east­ward toward the Russian border.

The Clinton administration is waging a public relations cam­paign to win support for a mission that Perry andotherofficialshave acknowledged carries big risks.

Republican Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, in a presiden­tial campaign appearance in Pittsburgh, said he expects few American casualties in Bosnia as long as the administration limits the military' s role to en­forcing the Dayton deal.

Dole said his Senate office had been flooded with phone calls opposing the mission. However, he predicted support would grow once the troops get there.

In Washington, Senate Minor­ity Leader Tom Daschle, Demo-

crat of South Dakota, said the Senate might pass a resolution this week supporting U.S. par­ticipation in Bosnia.

Perry for the first time spelled out which U.S.-based soldiers will be sent to Bosnia. Until now, the Pentagon has said only that most of the American con­tingent would be from U.S. bases in Germany.

Perry said soldiers from 22 Army units in 10 states have been notified. The biggest con­tributor will be Fort Bragg, North Carolina. It will send sol­diers from a parachute unit, ~ans­portation company, military in­telligence, psychological opera­tions and special operations.

Later the Pentagon said five activeAirForceunitsintheUnited States will be used.

Perry said he had detennined that 3,800 reservists are needed for the Bosnia operation. None has yet been formally called up.

The reservists will perfonn such functions as military police work and medical support, and they will be called to serve for 270 days, Perry said. He said the 3,800 have been instructed to be­gin training for Bosnia now.

NATO's forejgp., defense ministers OK Bosnia plan

By PAUL AMES BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -NA TO foreign ministers are poised to formally approve an agreement to settle the war in Bosnia and to prepare for the absorption of former Commu­nist nations into the trans-At­lantic defense group.

A key unresolved issue is what NATO soldiers should do about Bosnian Serb leaders Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic, and other suspected war criminals.

NA TO experts worked through the weekend to decide how to treat war crimes sus­pects. But diplomats said the matter remained unclear.

At NATO headquarters last week, British Defense Secre­tary Michael Portillo said the force would not hunt down war criminals, but that its soldiers would detain any they came across.

"If these characters fell into NATO hands, NATO would hand them over," Portillo said.

Under the Dayton, Ohio, peace accord, political leader Karadzic and military com­mander Mladic are to relinquish power. But they have shown no signs of doing so and have warned NATO troops will be attacked if they try to arrest them.

Another issue to be decided is how units from non-NATO na­tions, including Russia, can be ~lotted into the force. U.S. Sec­retary of State Warren Chris to­p her will meet separately with his Russian counterpart Andrei Kozyrev on Wednesday morn­ing.

Christopher said on his ar­rival Monday the largest NATO operation in history would be approved by the 16 foreign min-

isters in the alliance. And he said the winter session also would advance plans to push eastward by moving to take in former Russian allies who as communist nations were aligned against NATO.

In a speech opening a new U.S. trade and investment cen­ter Christopher Monday made no mention of Russia's cool view of extending the alliance to its border.

As Christopher addressed cor­porate leaders who hope to reap profits from the growth of pri­vate enterprise in Russia, other former Soviet republics and in Central and Eastern Europe, a contingent. of American, Brit­ish, French and Belgian troops flew into Sarajevo to help lay the grandwork for a 60,000-strong NATO mission.

Kozyrev is among foreign and defense ministers from almost 30 nations, most from the fonner East bloc, who will join their NA TO counterparts on Wednes­day. Some, including Poland, the Czech Republic and Swe­den, have offered troops for the Bosnia force.

Most of the military aspects of the Bosnia mission, code­named Joint Endeavor, already have been worked out by mili­tary planners.

Final approval by ·all 16 NA TO nations will come after the signing of the peace deal in Paris Dec. 14 which will start the deployment of the full mul­tinational force in Bosnia. It will consist of 20,000 U.S. troops, 14,000 from Britain, 10,000 from France and smaller con­tingents from othe

.. HONG KONG (AP) - Hong Kong banks haven't yet absorbed the full effect of deposit rate de­regulation and need to watch their costs to maintain growth in 1996,

Selway-Swift, who opposed opening Hong Kong time deposit ratestomarketforces,said the lower rates may also may hinder savings.

· '"There will be intense competi­tion for deposits," he said. Competition is also fierce for lend­ing, as large corporations increas­ingly dea! direct with capital mar­kets to raise funds, he said.

On a more positive note, Selway-Swift said consumer spending would pick up in 1996 and property prices are close to bottoming out, making apartments more affordable.

TOKYO TOKYO (AP) - A shipbuild­

Total orders for the calendar year are expected to top 9 million long tons (9.18 million metric tons), according to a release by the Shipbuilder's Association of Japan.

The association said the com­parable figure for South Korea was 8 million long tons (8.16 mil­lion metric tons).

Orders received by Japanese dockyards in October recovered to 640,000 short tons (576,000 metric tons) after slumping Jo a low of 430,000 short tons (387,000 metric tons) in July as a resultofthestrongyen. Export orders, which presage the state of the industry several months in advance, rose to 1.5 million long tons (1.53 million metric tons) in October from 450,000 (459,000 metric tons) the previous month.

Japan was the world's top ship­builder for three decades until South Korea overtook it in 1993.

Sinking bond rates spurs optimism By KAREN GULLO

NEW YORK (AP)- Sales of every­thing from homes to heavy equip­ment could benefit if inrerest rates continue their dramatic declines, economistssaidas a key govenunent bood hovered around a major mile­stone.

The yield on the U.S. govenunent' s 30-yearTreasury bond dipped below 6 peocent during trading, a level last seenmorethattwoyearsago. It settled at 6.0'2 pero:nt, the lowest level since Octobe'l 1993 for the rate that serves as a beIX:hmaik for many oonswner and corporate loans.

"This is the preview of what good things can happen," said Sung Won Sohn, chief economist at Noiwest Cotp. in Minneapolis.

Yields have been dropping because investors are buying up Treasury bonds on expectations that there's good economic times ahead. Traden, believe that lawmakers will eventu­ally reach an agreement on balancing the federal budget, which has positive

Meanwhile, the perception that the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates to stimulate economic growth has also increased the attractiveness of bonds. The value of fixed income investments already in investors' hands rises when interest rates fall.

Yields on 30-year Treasuries al­readyaredown l.85percentagepoints from the end of last year, when they stood at 7.87 percent That's a stun­ning drop of 23.5 percent in less than a year.

Economists said conswn~rs ~d business won't feel any immediate impact if yields fall below 6 percent In fact, ''most people outside the fi­nancial markets don't follow Trea-

sury rates," said Gary Thayer, senior economist at AG. Edwards and Sons Inc. in St Louis.

But they will sit up and take notice when rates on 30-year mortgages fall to 7.25 percent

"That's the magic number," said David A I..ereah, staff vice president and chief economist at the Mortgage Bankers A.s.sociation. He said at that level, people would refinance home mortgages and those considering buying a home will do so.

Thirty-year mortgage rates have been moving down and now hover around 7.35 percent, compared 7 .51 percent a month ago and 9 .29 percent a year ago.

Mortgage applications are up, as borrowers take advantage of the chance for lower payments.

As of last month, the monthly pay­ment on a$ 100,<XX> mortgage was about$ 699, whilethepaymentonthe same loan with last year's rate is about$ 805 - a difference of$ l<Xi.

man for Kerkorian's Tracinda Corp. had no comment.

Iacocca helped engineer Chrysler's return from near bank­ruptcy in the early 1980s and be-· came a household name pitching the company's products in its tele­vision ads.

Kerkorian is Chrysler's second­largest shareholder behind mu­tual fund company FMR Cotp. For the past year, the Las Vegas billionaire has been pushing the company to take steps to increase the value of that stock or boost the payout to stockholders.

The suit asks the court to order lacocca to repay the company for the money and services it has given him since he began giving secrets to Kerkorian. It also asks for a ruling that the Chrysler board was justified in denying Iacocca his stock options.

A Chrysler spokesman said he could not place a value on the amount the lawsuit seeks. In trad­ing Monday on the New York Stock Exchange, Chrysler rose 12 1/2 cents to close at$ 52.50 a share.

Boeing did not say when the planes would be delivered or how the current strike by the Interna­tional Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers in Wash­ington state, Oregon and Kansas would affect the order.

Some 32,000 production work­ers have been on strike since Oct. 6 over health-care payments, sub-, contracting and wages.

Int'l Fund for Ireland courts business, critics

By SHAWN POGATCHNIK MONEYMORE,Northemlrcland (AP) -After decades of decline, the farming village ofMoneymore is go­ing back in business - the tourism busin™·

An international fund that tries to buy peace by spreading prosperity is helping.

The International Fund for Ireland is paying half of the $1.5 million bill forsprucingupthe 18th-century Manor House as a 36-bed hostel, cafe and outdoor· museum showing Moneymore's development from a 17th-century Protestant ''planter'' vil­lage.

Moneymore used to be on Ulster's agricultural and industrial crossroads, but today its High Street is a strip of ailing small shops, a Protestant Or­ange Order hall with broken windows, and curbstones painted the red, white and blue of the British flag. Derelict and its cream paint flaking, the Manor House stands as a monwnent to by­gone glories.

"We're optimistic this will bring some sense of prosperity back to the village, and some tourists,'' said Kevin Johnston, vice principal of a Catholic school who planned the project with local Protestant businessmen.

The International Fund has become a $ 450 million investment since its creation in 1985. The United States has contributed the majority of that-$ 250 million-with the rest from the 15-nationEuropean Union, Canada, Aus-

. tralia and New :zealand. Northern Ireland is dotted with In­

ternational Fund projects, notably in Catholic areas: community centers, businesses, museums, tidied-up store­fronts, even a butterfly park.

Although Protestants complain the fund discriminates, proponents of the foreign aid argue that creating oppor­tunities -particularly in Catholic areas where wiemploymentruns highest- is essential to buttress peace.

"People become antagonistic when they're fighting over limited resources like jobs," Johnstonsaid ''Withenough jobsandprosperitytogoaround,there'd be no depth to the animosity that has spoiled Northern Ireland in the past''

President Ointon had pledged to raise U.S. contributions to the fund fromdln, 19.6millionto$29.6million a year, but he was ovenuled by Con­gressional budget-cutten;.

'"Wehaveavezylargelistofprojects, and a long piptiline of commitments. The extra 10 million would have been useful but we understand that budget­ary times are tough." said William McCarter, chairman of the Interna­tional Fund.

Ointon highlighted the role of the International Fund as "an engine for development and reconciliation" dur­ing his tour of Northern Ireland last Thursday. Notably, his longest and least-reported stop of the day was to a fund-supported small business center in Protestant east Belfast An audit by KPMG Peat Marwick, commis­sioned by the International Fund and released last month, said the program could share credit for wide

iwriting more than 16,(XX) jobs, not including construction work, since 1987.

Without those· jobs, Northern Ireland's unemployment rate of 11.5 percent would be about two points higher.

The fund was created as part of the Anglo-Irish Agi-eement of 1985. Prot­estant leaders bitterly opposed that treaty because it gave the Irish govern­ment a say in Northern Ireland poli-cies.

In a shift from their old refusal to deal with the International Fund, the Ulster Unionists, Northern Ireland's largest party, published a study claim­ing that the fund has promoted Catho­lic fortunes at the expense of their Protestant nuf.

Economists say it's not surprising that the emphasis is on Catholic areas.

'The fund was set up to target disad­vantaged areas of Northern Ireland. These ... tend to be(Catholic) national­ist," said Ronnie Scott, chief analyst for the independent Northern Ireland Economic Research Center in Belfast

Scott said the fund made its biggest contribution in supporting high-risk projects, including a plant that makes

circuits for computer semiconducton, in west Belfast that employs about 30 but plans to expand to 400.

ProjectMoneymore joins more than · 3,00) projects started since the United States became the fund's primary do-nor nine years ago.

When it was launched Nov. 13, Moneymore residents were surprised by the presence of the Rev. Willie McCrea, their local representative in British Parliament

McCrea, a member of the Demo­cratic Unionist Party, also belongs to the Apprentice Boys, a sternly pro­British fraternal order that rejected In­ternational Fund help for a musewn project five years ago.

McCrea repeated his position that International Fund grants represent "blood money," but said: "If America wants to pour money into the place I suppose we shouldn't tum our nose up .... I say, milk the cow."

Video rental industry flourishes By NICOLE WINFIELD

MIAMI (AP) · It would be hard for Blockbuster Enter­tainment Corp. to find a better testament to its growth into the biggest video retail chain than its relatively dreary store in Dallas.

The shelves are dirty and the carpet is soiled at that 10-year-old Texas store - the first of 4,300 video stores H. Wayne Huizenga opened worldwide as he built Block-

Blockbuster's success stoa noted buster into a.media empire.

The Florida-based company boomed during the past de­cade, but with the video in­dustry changing and Block­buster itself undergoing a metamorphosis after its sale last year to Viacom Inc., it will be hard-pressed to con­tinue its spectacular growth rate over the next 10 years.

The video rental market is fast becoming saturated in the United States, where Block­buster alone has about 3,000 stores. Blockbuster also must face the possibility that pay­per-view movies on cable tele­vision and other forms of video-on-demand will one day replace a trip to the video store.

U.S. spending on video rentals, which increased $ S billion over l O years to $ 8.1 billion this year, was only pro­jected to increase another$ I. 3 billion in the next five vears, according to the Video

Software Dealers Association. Like many other companies

facing slower growth, Block­buster is looking overseas to expand. It hopes to nearly triple it~ nearly 1,300 interna­tional video stores by the year 2000.

"That's the real point of growth,'' said John Tinker, a Viacom analyst for Furman Selz and Co. in New York. "There are more video ma­chines in the international market but the rentals are lower. It's far less saturated and there aren't any chains. It's the natural place to ~o."

Gov't asks firms to look at prospects overseas l\1ELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -The government has appealed to small and medium-sized finns to form alli­ances with each other along with foreign counterparts to win business overseas, especially in the Asia-Pa­cific region.

"Small to medium-sized compa­nies need networks if they are to grow," Trade Minister Peter Cook told a business conference on Tues­day.

'They need them to forge links with other small to medium-sized enterprises in other economies in or­der to become familiar with the way business is done in that market

'They need them because, for smaller companies, banding together creates distribution channels in for­eign markets enabling the product to reach customers more rapidly and extensively."

Cook's comments, at the National Trade and Investment Outlook Con­ference, were made 24 hours before Prime Minister Paul Keating is due to announce what it says will be a ma­jor initiative to help business.

"Tomorrow the.Prime Minister will put down a major statement on innovation as a driver of eco­nomic growth in Australia," Cook said.

The company also has found ways to branch out through the merger with Viacom. The deal has given Blockbuster a new range of merchandise including elec­tronic games and products tied to Viaco~s MTV and Nick­elodeon networks.

Blockbuster has had to learn to grow without Huizenga. Rather than be No. 2 behind Viacom chief Sumner M. Redstone, Huizenga stepped down from Blockbuster to concentrate on his own com­pany, Huizenga Holdings, and his three South Florida pro­fessional sports teams. He re­mains a Viacom vice chair- , man.

Blockbuster's revenues tell the story of its growth. During the seven years Blockbuster has been publicly traded, rev­enue has grown to $ 3 billion from $7 million.

Its competitors are among its admirers.

"They're the McDonald's of the video industry,'' said Dan Sehres, o

wner of New Concept Video, a small, independent store on Miami Beach about three blocks from a Blockbuster. "They created the standard for video chains."

Steven R. Berrard, president and chief executive of Block­buster Entertainment Group, said the company "has changed the way people spend their free time.''

In the process, it acquired small chains and opened fran­chise operations, providing stiff competition for the small video stores that offer foreign, cult and adult films.

Blockbuster chose to go with "a family approach to the tapes,'' said Gerry Geddis, Blockbuster's president of worldwide operations. No X­rated films, nothing adult.

"It was embraced very quickly," he said.

Blockbuster's growth also has provided a lucrative mar­ket for movie studios, espe­cially Disney, which now make most of their profits off video sales, not box office sales.

Lawrence E. Ullman, editor of The Stereophile Guide to Home Theater, a home enter­tainment magazine, said that means "Blockbuster may have 50 copies of "Jurassic Park." But, he said, customers who enjoy independent or less popular films may have trouble finding them at Block­buster.

WEDNESDAY , DECEiylBER 6, 1995 -MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS-23

Top skaters pay tribute to fallen colleague LAKE PLACID, New York (AP) 0- Just 13 days after,the death of two-time Olympic gold medalist Sergei Grinkov, the remaining cast of the Discover Card Stars on Ice­figure-skating tour returned to the ice.

The skaters said they hoped per­forming in Grinkov's honor helps them complete their own grieving.

"We couldn't get it all done fast enough, and I hope you under­stand," tour headliner Scott Hamilton told·the crowd Sunday at

the Olympic Center in Lake Placid before the tour's annual preview show.

"What we're presenting, on Sergei's shoulders, is the best we've got, and I'm sure it's going to be good enough. We're going to give

you something real special." Grinkov paired with wife

Ekaterina Gordeeva to win gold medals in the 1988 and 1994 Win­ter Olympics. He collapsed on the ice and died of a heart attack while practicing at Lake Placid on Nov.

20. "Sergei Grinkov was one of the

finest people I've ever had the plea­sure to know, and I speak for every­one in this family," said Hamilton, a four-time world champion and the 1984 Olympic gold medalist.

Lions win 4th straight in victory over Bears PONTIAC, Michigan (AP) - The Detroit Lions can still think playoffs.

since 1983. The Bears, who have lost four of their last five games, haven't won a road game in December since 1987.

Detroit is 24-, 3 llllder Fontes in games played on or after Thanksgiv­ing. Fontes is 19-6 in the final four games of the season.

Herman Moore, who scored the Li­ons' first touchdown, set a club record with 14 catches for a career-high 183 yards, breaking the team mark of 12 in a game shared by three others. Moore has 101 catches for the season.

The high-powered show by the NFL' stop-rated offense was expected. But the Lions' defense also stepped up against the Bears, who went into the game with the league's No. 6 offense.

Erik Kramer, who had been sacked only eight~ in the Bears''first 12 games, was sacked four times by De­troit

The Lions rolled up 4 I 9 yards while holding Chicago to 185 yards.

Kramer completed 21 of33 for 140 yards. That gave him 3,217 yards for the season, breaking Bill Wade's 1962

club record. But by failing to throw a touchdown, Kramer was still two short of Sid Luckman' s single-season club recordof28 in 1943.

Mitchell, who in November broke Bobby Layne's 45-year-old single­game markof37 4 yards with 41 Oyards against Minnesota, matched Layne's 1951 record of 26 touchdown passes.

Mitchell, who completed 26 of 38 passes for 320 yards, hooked up with Moore for a 46-yard touch­down, tossed a 4-yard touchdown strike to Johnnie Morton and threw

a swing pass that Barry Sanders turned into a 9-yard touchdown and · a 21-0 halftime lead.

Sanders, needing 96 yards to be­come the 10th player in NFL his­tory to rush for I 0,000 yards, fin­ished with 90 yards on 23 carries. He caught six passes for an addi­tional 93 yards.

Jason Hanson's 42-yard field goal gave Detroit a 24-0 lead 2:49 into the third quarter. Hanson's 36-yarderjust23 seconds into the fourth quarter made it 27-7.

Olyinpic committee error stirs confusion PRAGUE, Oklahoma (AP) -Townspeople were elated when they learned last summer of plans to honor Jim Thorpe by running the Olympic torch through his birthplace.

Now, some in Prague can only curse the Olympic committee that named the wrong town - a place the sports legend really only vis­ited.

"You can pick up any encyclo­pedia and it always says, 'Jim Thorpe, Sac and Fox Indian, born near Prague,' " Corrine Long of the Prague Chamber of Commerce said.

Instead of the town of 3,000 or the nearby Sac and Fox Reserva­tion, the 1996 Olympic torch hon­oring Thorpe will pass through Yale, some 40 miles (65 kilome­ters) to the north.

The Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games said Yale was Thorpe's birthplace in an itiner­ary distributedinJuly. But spokes­man David Emanuel said the com­mittee knew all along Thorpe lived there only briefly.

"That (itinerary) was a simple error," he said.

That error has brought protest from residents in Prague, tribal

three minutes and our shots would not go in. They (01' Aces) even manage to put a narrow lead in the middle of the second half," coach Diaz said.

This early the Brothers coach is al­ready looking forward to their match up against Ff/SNE on Monday. "That game will be another test for us if we can preserve our leadership," he said.

Early in the first half, a technical foul was called on Brothers' Jesse Dela Cruz for contesting the referee's call.

· He was called to the bench for two minutes by coach Diaz.

Dela Cruz finished with 23 JX)ints, Tony Diaz24,EdDiaz 18,JeffDiaz 15, Jack Diaz eiglit, Juan D. Diaz five, and James V. Diaz four.

Renguul topped the 01' Aces scorechart with 23 JX)ints, Camacho 22, Rangamar 16, Jerry Ayuyu 14, Winsor Peter 12, Taitano 4, Atalig 2.

leaders and a request from Gov. Frank Keating to change the 3 21-mil e (516-kilometers) route through Oklahoma to include Prague.

Early last week, Emanuel said the committee would not make any changes. By Friday, he said committee members had planned a meeting with state leaders in the coming weeks to talk about the route.

"We want to listen to them and really find out what their desire is for the torch relay in the state," he said.

For certain, Yale proudly pro­claims itself "Home of Jim Thorpe." The house he owned for five years while on the road play­ing professional football and baseball has been preserved as a historical landmark. Even a city park boasts his name.

Until a new marker bearing the words "BirthplaceofJim Thorpe" went up in Prague a few weeks ago, a sign stated the town's claim to fame as "Horne of the Kolache Festival and National Czecho­Slovak USA Queen Stephanie Goodnight 1992-1993."

in neon lights," said Sam Muzny, who grew up in the Czechoslova­kian settlement located in rolling fannland between Oklahoma City and Tulsa.

A few miles south of town, Muzny points out a marker in a brush-choked fence row. Here, the Sac and Fox Indian called Wa-Tho-Huck, or "Bright Path," was born in 1887.

If a plaque noting Thorpe's ac­complishments hadn't been swiped from the marker years ago, one could read: Winner of the decathlon and pentathlon in the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm. Played major league baseball 1913-1919 and professional foot­ball 1915-1929. First president of

the National Football League. Voted world's greatest male ath­lete in the first half of the 20th century in a 1950 Associated Press poll.

Sweden's King Gustav V pro­claimed Thorpe "the greatest ath­lete in the world," following his Olympic performance. A year later, in 1913, the Olympics stripped Thorpe of his medals af­ter learning he once played minor league baseball.

The medals were returned to Thorpe'sfamilyin 1982,30years after his death. But some people in Prague are still fuming.

"It's like the Olympics has never gotten it right with him," Muzny said.
